Only just installed 7.5.00061

Sorry, what does this fix do exactly?

@Ciprian3015 … it says in the post… “72817 - Custom content blocks on the portal have the HTML tags stripped”

The fix is related to content blocks on the portal. 7.5.00061 has a bug where it strips the HTML tags when displaying the content block. 7.5.00062 fixes this, so if you have content blocks on your portal and you have 7.5.00061, you’ll want to upgrade.

Will this fix the issue that prevented you from adding photo’s on portal using html? This issue existed for quite some time.

How are you trying to add photos? I did a test where I added an IMG tag in the content block and it rendered it fine. Can you give me the steps you are doing where it’s not working?

I’m getting a little bit concerned with the recent number of releases and the subsequent problems that are reported.

Are you breaking more than your fixing?

Is SpiceWorks trying too much rather than consolidating?

In general, we are trying to release more often to include enhancements as well as bug fixes. The rule of thumb we’re following now is to do a release a month that includes general functionality improvements and new small features, and a roll-up of bug fixes. Yes, unfortunately we’ve messed up a couple of times with a release where one bug fix introduced another. In this case, it was a security fix for cross-site scripting that was the cause of the new bug.

We apologize for these instances and are working to improve our internal processes to prevent future occurrences.

Can we have an feature where we can optionally enable automatic updates?

Mike400 · 2016-01-06T03:16:35.000Z

Optional, with the default being “off” is okay.
